Right now on the Intrade prediction markets, Evan Bayh is the current favorite to be Barack Obama's running mate and thus the next Vice President of the United States.

Bayh would add a lot to the ticket. He's a popular Senator and former Governor from a state that Obama would love to pick off this November. He also supported Hillary Clinton in the primary, so his selection would go a long way towards uniting the party and bringing in stray Clinton supporters.

VP News: Sound like Clark!

I tried to quit blogging :P this week, but when I saw this headline from the indelible Sam Stein I just couldn't resist.

Let’s face it.

General Wesley Clark is the only Vice Presidential Candidate with Presidential campaign experience, who has military, foreign policy, diplomatic, and executive experience, with southern roots, appeal to Latinos and Hillary Clinton supporters, an existing national grassroots organization, and who will not cause the Democrats to lose a Senate seat or a Governorship with his selection.

Well...that about says it.

Just realizing that this is the moment for Clarkies to bring more attention to Clark once again in the blogosphere if possible. He was pre-empted by the news on Tim Russert the other night, when he seemed likely to get a lot of coverage over his attack on McCain, but there are many things people don't realize about Clark and I'm hoping my focus on his 100-year-plan will attract viewers.

Wes Clark for Vice President Makes Perfect Sense

The last two Vice Presidents have been the most powerful in history. The office has taken on more and more importance in recent years and it seems that we are going to have to pick a darn good one to either calm some of the anti-Hillaryism or negate some of the Barack’s-not-experienced-ism if we are going to win. Wesley Clark does both.

According to a letter released Thursday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Vice President Dick Cheney does not consider himself part of the Executive Branch under certain circumstances. This begs the question:

If our Founding Fathers created the United States government with three branches, and the Vice President is not part of the Executive Branch, to which of the other two branches does he belong?
